The Rain Machine

Gretchen graciously invited me to be a part of the “Second Degree of Separation” show (which was organized by Viviane) at RedLine. I’d just finished dripdrop and took it upon myself to figure out how to fit it into the physical space of a gallery.

Except for the backlight everything is run mechanically. As one turns the handle an edited-down, Super-8 print runs through a film viewer on a loop and a DIY music box kit plays the song.

Even though this was held together with hot glue and wishes and kind of broke during the opening: resounding success.
